Default Latest Spyder Retrofit with Tuxedo Black paint match

Customer wanted a similar build to mine with a few additions.
First up would be a Tuxedo Black paint match to the headlight housing.

Went ahead and stripped the lights down and sanded a few imperfections.

Just a couple spots needed attention.

Up next was to test the paint. Didn't have a Tuxedo Black to compare, but looks on par.

After a few coats of base and clear they were about done.

Next on the list was to install all the switchback lighting. As well as give the halo an evil eye look.

With everything assembled and sealed, time to put them on the truck and align the projectors.

I have these headlights with the projectors that came with them. I want to put Morimoto HIDs in them. Where should I.mount the harness?? It looks to be a pain in the *** with the rubber cover on the back where the bulb goes. Any info on how I should go about this?
